Chapter 94: Advance and Trial

Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Lucas

"…After several days of careful observations and detailed discussions, we came to the conclusion that there is no intact spaceship in the junkyard Carriers in need of support are prone to releasing electroular intervals, and thankfully, we have not intercepted such a signal fro forward, "That is why after multiple debates, it has been decided that the Hope should head towards the junkyard And so far, we’re 15 days into the journey On a related note, the junkyard’s existence has been discovered by the public about 10 days ago Many were already suspicious when the Hope hadn’t space-warped after the usual three days The fact that the junkyard keeps giving out shards of light doesn’t really help the situation either Previously, you would need a telescope to notice it, but now it’s viewable with the naked eye alone Needless to say, the confidential clause has been resolved since al the junkyard"

Zhang Heng wasn’tback to stare out the ith a blank look in his eyes It wasn't until Yao Yuan smacked him heavily on his shoulders that he ith a jolt and announced excitedly, "Wow! Alien civilization and alien spaceships! Is this real? Are we sure it’s not sohtly "You can’t have es in space, so this is real… Or rather, most of it doesn’t appear to be illusory under the scrutiny of our discreet probing Of course, your worry is shared a that the junkyard is nothing more than a masterful trap conjured up by soy-wise backwards societies like our own, but this line of thought lacks validity"

Zhang Heng turned around and asked, "Why not?"

"Because there is a lack of pay off" Yao Yuan smiled "It is my belief that there is an intention for profit behind every one of our actions, and it should be the same for all alien life for of territory, or assault, there has to be a profitable purpose behind it, right?

"We humans are no threat to their survival or territory, so the safest bet would be assault Perhaps they view us as a possible future threat and would like to vanquish us before then However, there is still a problem Why would they set a trap for us in the middle of nowhere? This area is literally a void as there is with no star or planets around, so if this is a trap, where’s the bait? What are the chances that ould cross here willingly?

"Hence, this argu at a spaceship junkyard, nothingless!" Yao Yuan concluded, with the s debated for quite soreat Looks like there is a bright future awaiting ain, as you’ve said, these spaceships are several hundreds of yearsaround in broken shreds?"

The question had both Zhang Heng and Yao Yuan descend into silence because the possibility was too scary to be spoken out loud… In fact, lots of scientists had been debating this issue since the junkyard was first spotted According to the captured pictures, all of the debris in the junkyard was similar to the ones that made up the central command battleship In other words, there were no parts that were of a different origin

With that in mind, the Academy ca This was not hard to envision since the Hope itself had alerously close to running out of supplies Of course, the infighting could also be caused by a difference in religious or political ideals, and to have a mutiny escalated to such devastation was not entirely iain, the co, so it could survive easily for several thousands of years in space As long as the society wasn’t overly populated, it was hard to see the people voluntarily hurting their own chance at survival, so the possibility for hypothesis one was quite low

And that left them with the much scarier hypothesis two, one that made chills run down Yao Yuan’s spine

The fleet of battleships came into contact with a far superior alien race, and in the midst of combat… no, the massacre, the battleship was de even one warship loss… Of course, it was possible that for such an advanced civilization, they didn’t even need to rely on warships for the purpose of warfare
